Giving Grace to Others



"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." (Galatians 6:7-10)

The old saying “You are what you eat” has a lot of truth to it.  But, in this case, it should say “You are what you feed on!”  If you feed on the Word and things of the Spirit, you can’t help but reap things of the Spirit.

God wants us to do this in all ways, not just in our spiritual life, but also in our physical life within this world.  We must be the light that shines for the world to see.  This light must be allowed to shine on everyone at all times.

It is easy to do good to those who do good to us.  Everyone is capable of doing this.  We, as believers, must do good to everyone, whether they do good to us or not.  
 We must show God’s grace and mercy to all that we encounter so that they may see God through us.

Jesus allowed that grace to be shown to us.  We did not deserve it, yet, it was given to us freely.  How can we, who did not deserve that grace and mercy, show nothing but grace and mercy to others who are as worthy as we are?
